XML_Array is a PHP class that converts any XML document (or strings) in PHP’s array and vice versa.
The format chosen is totally inspired by the Google’s rules to convert XML in JSON.
| ARRAY | XML | |
|---|---|---|
key ⇒ array( key1 ⇒ value, ) |
<key key1="value/> |
|
key ⇒ array( #text ⇒ value1, ) |
<key>value1</key> |
|
key ⇒ array( array(…), array(…), ) |
<key>…</key><key>…</key> |
|
0 ⇒ value |
<![CDATA[value]]> |
|
key ⇒ value |
<row key="value" /> |
|
#comment ⇒ value |
<!--value-→ |
